"Batman: Farewell" chapter 2 Green Arrow

The air was cool within the poorly dubbed 'Arrow cave.' Oliver grimaced every time he used that term, and crossed from the workout mat towards the central workstation, pulling on a thin, blank grey t-shirt. "Any further news on the Gotham thing?" He asked Felicity, pecking her on the cheek.

"Nothing yet. I've been in contact with Oracle, but she went silent."

Oliver stared at a screen, which was constantly replaying Scarecrows last message to the Batman.

Other screens showed a variety of information. A complete map of Gotham on one, and various news stories on others, pictures of Gotham covered in Scarecrows fear toxin, blurry images of Batman soaring through the night sky, and the Batmobile tearing those tank-like drones to pieces.

"I should help him." Oliver said quietly, glancing at the Green Arrow suit in its display case.

"I appreciate the thought, Oliver, but Starling City needs you more than I do." A deep voice growled, and Batman's face popped up on a screen.

"You have a habit of breaking into my system." Felicity muttered.

"You need stronger security." Batman replied with a small smirk.

"Batman...Bruce." Oliver said, "Let me help, let the League help."

"I'll tell you what I told Superman. This is my city, my mess, and it's the Batman Scarecrow wants."

Oliver stared at the screen. "He'll kill you. You know that."

"He can try." Batman replied. "Nevertheless, this is goodbye, Oliver."

Oliver stayed silent, processing those words. He'd said goodbye to too many people. Felicity stopped typing, and looked at Ollie's face. Jaw clenched, brow furrowing slowly. He was pissed off.

"You've done well, as the Green Arrow. Keep it up." Batman praised the younger hero. "The League are lucky to have you, Oliver. Don't let me down. Batman out." The communication cut out.

Oliver stood still and silent for a few seconds, before striding over to his suit, pulling it out of the case.

"What are you doing?" Felicity asked, going to him, placing a hand on his wrist gently. "He told you not to get involved."

"I can't just sit here and watch him die."

Felicity swallowed, and turned back to face the screens.

"We have to." She said, defeated.
